What This Site Covers
California public-record access, including the California Public Records Act at Government Code 7920.000 et seq., makes many custody and arrest details available through public sources. This site explains the main custody categories in plain language: local jail, state prison, federal prison, and immigration detention. Those categories matter because the same person may move from one status to another as a case develops.
This site brings those lookup paths together with plain-English notes on Fresno County Main Jail, North Annex Jail, West Annex Jail, Pleasant Valley State Prison, and FCI Mendota.
What You Can Find
The pages here are written around the official Fresno County record paths documented in the research source set.

- Facility pages with addresses, phones, custody distinctions, and visitation or locator context.
